My Spring issue of the Smoky Mountain Historical Society Journal came today, and includes a two-page map showing Wears Cove Land Grants in Sevier Co. Wears Cove runs from northeast to southwest in this map, and "a piece down the road" southwest from the last land grant sshown in Wears Cove is Paw Paw Hollow. There are markers on the map, and Headrick Chapel and Cemetery are shown at BM 1597. A little further on we find BM 1453 and the words "Paw Paw Hollow". The Smoky Mountain Historical Society has a website at <www.smokykin.com/smhs> and their Email address is <smhs@smokykin.com>. Someone there should be able to give additional info. Hope this helps.

As with most tree names in East Tennessee, there's another Paw Paw Hollow in Sevier County. It's in what's called Kodak (or Northview) today -- just a mile or so from where the Jefferson/Sevier/Knox County borders intersect. We're so redundant around here! I think there are more Sinking Creeks in East Tennessee than anyplace else in the world!

I'm looking for the PAUL family, may be one or two brothers, Luther and William, around 1825-1830. Probably from Botetourt/ Rockbridge counties in VA or from Morgan Co., TN. Also Fenton Mosher Brown and his brother James, born 1807 and 1809 respectively in TN (no county known). Known to be in Morgan Co., TN by 1820, were they in Knox Co. previously? The Browns never lived in Knox, only passed through, however the Pauls did live there for a while. Have lots on the descendants of both families, looking for ancestors on the Browns. Have ancestry of the Pauls in VA and will be glad to exchange/share anything that will help.
